Deadly Deeds — Neal Sanders

The ‘Gang' is back. The death of garden club member Cecelia Davis, age 93, sends Paula, Eleanor, Alice and Jean ‘undercover' to the high-end nursing home where Cecelia lived her last two years. They're not even certain if they're trying to solve a murder: at 93, you're no longer on the actuarial tables. But Cecelia's wake provides tantalizing tidbits of information and an initial roster of people to investigate, and Cecelia's granddaughter is convinced there was foul play. But at the same time, another of the Gang's ventures is about to come back to haunt them. Three months earlier, investigator Samantha Ayers sent the group into an auto dealership in search of insurance fraud. They found it, and exposed Pokvovsky Motors in a most spectacular fashion. Now, ‘Smilin' Al' Pokrovsky, the patriarch of a chain of dealerships, wants revenge. Deadly Deeds brings back the cast of The Garden Club Gang with a twisting plot that is as suspenseful as it is a great mystery. They'll try to catch a nursing home murderer while keeping out of the clutches of an auto magnate who wants to silence them.
